Definitely. I expected to think that smart watches were dumb, but found otherwise. My Pebble lets me ignore my phone more.
The notifications I allow to my wrist: phone calls, text messages, and calendar alerts. 90% of the time I do nothing more than acknowledge the alert or send the call to voicemail, meaning I can leave my phone in my pocket.
I like that because my phone is a source of distractions. If I take it out to see what an alert is about, I find it too easy to check other notifications that have piled up, or to go and look at something entertaining.
I don't think this guy has a technology problem. He has a focus problem but hasn't realized it yet.
